Australian ESafety Commissioner refers to a perfect storm for online abuse: "You’re creating the perfect storm – reducing your defences, bringing back former users with a history of repeat abuse, and you’re not putting any mitigating factors in to remediate the harm" #X #Twitter

#VoicetoParliament They (native Australians) were here before us (Caucasian / Immigrant origin). We should at least listen to what they have to say relating to aboriginal matters or anything that would affect them. I will be voting YES.

#ClimateChange #AI I asked Bard AI to write a song about climate change. Here is the result:

(Verse 1)
The Earth is warming, the ice is melting,
The sea levels are rising, the weather is getting more extreme.
We're facing a climate crisis,
And we need to act now.

(Chorus)
Climate change, climate change,
It's a real and present danger.
We need to take action,
Before it's too late.

(Verse 2)
We can't keep burning fossil fuels,
We need to switch to renewable energy.
We need to reduce our emissions,
And we need to protect our forests.

(Chorus)
Climate change, climate change,
It's a real and present danger.
We need to take action,
Before it's too late.

(Bridge)
We can't afford to wait any longer,
We need to act now.
For the sake of our planet,
For the sake of our future.

(Chorus)
Climate change, climate change,
It's a real and present danger.
We need to take action,
Before it's too late.

(Outro)
We can do this,
We can save our planet.
We just need to work together,
And we need to act now.

I did not realise that the Federal Government had run this predatory loan plan which targeted poorer students. More disappointing is that the current Government is refusing to do something about it. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/may/01/we-got-educated-and-exploited-nadia-sheriffs-35000-loan-has-only-reduced-to-32800-after-20-years

Ok. Time for a rant about #Telstra. After receiving a letter from #NBN which stated my property can now upgrade from Fibre To The Curb (FTTC) to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), I checked the Telstra website. Good news, according to the website, my property is eligible for a free upgrade to FTTP. So far so good. Selected the option on the website to message Telstra regarding the upgrade - it didn't work. Then, using the Telstra app, managed to contact a support officer. I was then asked to call a technician to arrange the installation. I called the relevant number. The technician asked a number of questions, one of which was: am I a Priority Assist customer? I was thinking great, I will be given priority service. I was wrong. Priority Assistance customers are ineligible for the upgrade. The reason given is that there is an undefined period during the upgrade in which phone calls are not available. I would understand that if I had not been previously promised by the priority assist team that I would be provided with a satellite phone if the NBN was offline for any reason. The technician stated that the satellite phone is not reliable, especially in poor weather. This would not be a major concern to me if I was not living in a mobile blackspot. So, I was then advised that I could remove the priority assistance, get the installation done, and then go through the full reapplication process including medical for priority assistance. Complaint filed with the TIO and Federal MP.
